GDT: Game 2: Islanders @ Hurricanes, 7pm

[LakeLivin]

That one got me good.

That sounds too similar to Ultra Instinct for me to not make the reference.

Anyway, I see where you're coming from. Hockey is also such a fast sport as is. You don't have much time to think consciously. I also feel like overthinking is a determent in a lot of sports.

Yep. Bill Buckner's flubbed easy World Series ground ball and Scott Darling's missed floater from the blue line. Two plays where I'd wager the egregious errors happened because the mind kicked in and totally screwed with the body's ability to react.

Ya know, on paper that defense group doesn't look half bad. Probably above league average, even.

Especially when your daily goal is generally to consume as little sugar as possible.

So no to a fresh dozen Krispy Kremes

Fine I guess old man Stepan stays in. Just shoot the puck old man.

Also, for as much as everyone rags on Stastny being slow, Stepan looks way, way, way slower out there.

 

[Francis10]

Dear Turbo,

Hope this letter finds you well. I know you don’t enjoy the game of hockey and putting in any type of effort ever is a huge ask of you, but please try to enjoy playing hockey in the playoffs tonight. I know it sucks playing in the NHL and making $5.5 million a year, but at least try to somewhat enjoy it and give maybe 25% effort tonight. You can go back to Finland in a few months. Thanks a bunch.

One Cajun filet biscuit ain't gonna hurt her one bit.

You can never eat just one!

... Oh wait - that's me

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

If I recall correctly Stepan was a healthy scratch all playoffs last year. So all things being equal, giving him the go is probably a nice thing.

 

[AD Skinner]

Injuries none, lol

Isles have a big 4th line so i hope the old men are up to it.

Time to kiss those humpday sleepies away. Go Canes. Hope the crowd shows up soon.

 

[chaz4hockey]

Wow Freddie not backing up. Pyotr warming up.

 

[Sigurd]

Wow Freddie not backing up. Pyotr warming up.

So, unless Pyotr is real bad whenever he plays in this year's playoffs, kind of seems like Andersen won't be re-signed this summer.

Case of playoffitis

So, unless Pyotr is real bad whenever he plays in this year's playoffs, kind of seems like Andersen won't be re-signed this summer.

I didn’t watch the games but he let in a bunch of goals down the stretch for the Wolves (last 5 games GA: 5,3,5,4,4) I hope he gets hot again.

Re: Freddie-hurt, sick , upset he’s not playing who knows. But 2nd year in a row he is not available. Not worth the money right now.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

If he's sick, keep him the f*** away from the rest of the team

 

[raynman]

Wonder if Freddie is “sick” or sick haha

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

I hope it’s not that bug the Bruins had. Weird they posted and deleted it.

Now they posted another illness tweet.

 

[Svechhammer]

Freddie got that Bergy Bug
